Phase II Avastin Trial for Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC

Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Stage IV Clinical Trial

Official title: A Multicenter, Open-Label, Randomized, Phase II Trial of Docetaxel, Carboplatin and Bevacizumab as First-Line Treatment, Followed by Bevacizumab Plus Pemetrexed Versus Pemetrexed Alone as Second-Line Treatment of Stage IIIB or IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter study in 160 patients in first line treatment and 114 in second line treatment with advanced or metastatic NSCLC (Stage IIIB/IV).

Clinical Trial Description

This phase II clinical trial will address the issues of bevacizumab treatment duration and treatment safety as first-line therapy for patients with non-squamous NSCLC. Following disease progression or treatment failure, the potential benefit of continued bevacizumab therapy will be tested by randomizing patients to two treatment arms, including second-line chemotherapy with or without further bevacizumab. It is hypothesized that continuation of bevacizumab with pemetrexed as second-line treatment following progression will result in improved clinical outcomes for patients with NSCLC. ;
